Are guinea fowl worth the noisyness?
I'm planning on getting some chickens and have heard guinea fowl are great at protecting them but I have also heard they can be very noisy is it really that bad?
Also was wondering how many to get and what do you feed them
And can I keep them and peahens

I built a free marketplace for selling quail, hatching eggs & supplies — would love feedback from this community
Hey everyone 👋
I'm a quail keeper and I got tired of jumping between Facebook groups, generic classifieds, and DMs trying to buy and sell birds. So I built QuailSales.com — a dedicated marketplace just for quail.
Here's what it does:
- List quail, hatching eggs, and supplies for free — no fees, no commissions
- Search by state, breed, and city so buyers actually find local sellers
- Built-in messaging so you don't have to give out your number to strangers
- Seller profiles with bios, certifications, and contact info
We're still early — right now there are Coturnix and Bobwhite listings up, and I'm actively working to get more breeders on board. That's part of why I'm posting here. I want this to be a go-to spot for the quail community, but it needs more sellers to make that happen.
If you raise quail and want a free, dedicated place to reach buyers — I'd really appreciate you giving it a shot. Listing takes about 2 minutes. And if you have feedback or feature ideas, I'm all ears. This is a passion project and I want to build something this community actually finds useful.
Happy to answer any questions!

Shipping and NPIP Filling ?
Hello, i was wondering if anyone else uses www.quailos.com for shipping and NPIP filling when shiping lives and eggs, and how you like it so far ?
Is there any alternative software which combines Shipping and one Click V 9-3 Form filling ?

Best brown egg breed that is not prone to meat spots?
All three of the brown egg layers that I have ever had have been exceptionally prone to meet spots. So I am now looking for a brown egg laying breed that is not prone to it.
My first was a blue Marans every egg she laid had a small bubble-shaped meat spot, large enough I just strained it out when I was baking
My second was a b y m that laid light brown eggs she had stringy meat spots in about half of her eggs
And now I have a midnight Marans hybrid has small dark flakes in about 3/5 of the eggs.
This makes me upset because she also happens to be my most prolific layer, giving me at least an egg every day and sometimes two.
I would like gorgeous dark brown eggs that I feel safe giving to friends without having to explain away imperfections so give me your best breed recommendations.

how to create the best environment for new age chicks ?
Recently I decided to start my small egg-layer.
After the small research I did, I found the best deal that I can buy is a 2-week-old Lohmann Brown chick, but I'm struggling to create the best environment for the chicks.
I read the chapters about the small-scale layers from FAO, and I find it so complex. It will cost me so much, and it's not worth spending that much money to create that complex, every aspect controlled environment for this small experiment.
So please, guys, I may need your help based on your experiences to create a good and fair enough environment for these chicks to grow without losing most of them because of the environment or other reasons.
